Russia ‘losing 6,000 more troops in Ukraine each month than it can recruit’
The Guardian reports, citing Western officials, that Russia is losing about 6,000 more troops in Ukraine each month than it recruits, despite bringing in roughly 1,000 new soldiers a day. The imbalance matters beyond the battlefield because it increases pressure on Moscow's manpower system and complicates any attempt to sustain the war while avoiding the political and economic costs of another large-scale mobilisation.
